And Obama has no one but himself to blame. Having Richard Trumka and Andy Stern to the White House twice a week, and then bailing out the UAW and Public sector unions with the Stimulus and TARP really didn't sit well with most Americans.

And there is growing anti-union sentiment; people are tired of paying other people's benefits that they themselves don't receive. And they're tired of failing school systems due to the inability to get rid of poor teachers so they can pay good ones what they're worth.

Pay and benefits have gotten totally out of hand, and they will have to be cut back to levels comparable to the taxpayers that are paying for them. and after that is done, Who the hell will need a union?

And I've got news for all you public sector union retirees living on those golden parachute retirement and health plans. The gravy is quickly running out, and I hope you made other plans. Larry.

Daniels eliminated Collective Bargaining in Indiana and was re-elected.

And as far as sentiment goes, it sure isn't with the Democrats that left the Senate or teachers' unions.

Also 67% think the Democrats should not have run away to avoid a vote they didn't like. Larry. "Self sufficiency is the very essence of freedom, therefore liberals are most often used as the unwitting dupes of totalitarians."

The one's you cite are pretty far down the list as far as accuracy in the last 2 elections. Larry. "Self sufficiency is the very essence of freedom, therefore liberals are most often used as the unwitting dupes of totalitarians."
